AmazonAudioBooks.zip Still some search improvements to be done! - Testing version. Not always fetching overviews - so I need to look at that. This is a webscraper, It searches amazon for your audiobook. Its up to you to check you can legally use this in your country - I accept no responsibilty. Use at your own risk. As this is a private use plugin and at no way connected to commercial use, copyrights are deemed "fair use" - for personal use in most countries, However its on you to check this where you are. For Audiobooks it fetches: Book Title Release Date Studio Poster Images Writers / Narrators (names only) Tagline Overview It does not fetch any Writers or Narrators Information or Images (when you click them) - it only fetches the audiobook information.. It only searches the book names, if I search the release dates or writers as well it usually doesn't find anything, so its possible to get the wrong book of the same name - just so you know. However so far for me, it has got the right books each time up to now ... theres still time to get the wrong book.... Identify is not enabled in this plugin so will error in Emby log if you try to use it. Drop the .dll in your plugins folder Restart Emby Go to Library Settings, Enable in metadata and Images I'm not entirely sure how to add Narrators to Audio books - there doesnt seem to be a narrator entity. @Luke So I have added them as an Actor with the Role "Narrator", this maybe not the correct place to put them - so until I know how they are handled, thats where this plugin adds them This is an initial test release so do not consider it perfect! - I advise testing it on a dummy library first. 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.35 [GetMetadata] Searching for AudioBook = The Running Man 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.35 Url = https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k="the running man"+audiobook 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.36 Search Link Added: https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Running-Man/dp/B01H0INT8Y 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.36 Found link = https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Running-Man/dp/B01H0INT8Y 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.36 Testing Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Running-Man/dp/B01H0INT8Y 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [AudiBook Name] found: 'The Running Man' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [Person] found: 'Stephen King' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [Person] found: 'Kevin Kenerly' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [Studio] found: 'Hodder & Stoughton' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [ReleaseDate] found: '28 July 2016' 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 [ReleaseDate] extracted: 27/07/2016 23:00:00 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 Tagline Found: It's not just a game when you're running for your life. 31.Jan.2023 - 01.12.38 Overview: It's not just a game when you're running for your life.

So this isn't really an Emby issue but I wasted all morning on this crap so someone should get benefit from that and it might avoid a few posts in here with people complaining that a video will not play. So this is for an LG65OLEDB6 (it's getting old...). I ripped my first 4k disc using MakeMKV and after encoding I couldn't get it to play. I got the dreaded incompatible streams error. I use Vidcoder which is just a GUI for Handbrake. The file was within spec for the TV and I have other 4k videos I've downloaded that work with much higher bitrates too, I couldn't see anything obviously wrong. I tried LG's built in video player and that also wouldn't play the file so I knew it wasn't Emby. I extracted the first 2 min and used that to test a bunch of encoding options but nothing worked. It was bizarre. I ended up using mkvtoolnix which is a free app. Place the busted video in the mkvtoolnix folder and run the following from the command line - mkvextract.exe tracks bustedvideo.mkv -f 0:bitstream.265 This will extact the video track to a file - bitstream.265 Open up mkvtoolnix-gui Select the multiplexer tab on the left. Drag the brokenvideo.mkv file into the window. It will list all the tracks in the file at the bottom. Drag the bitstream.265 into the window. When the prompt appears, select add as new source files to the current multiplex settings. At the bottom of the screen, untick the original video track which should be the top one. Click start multiplexing. The file it creates should play hopefully. After comparing them with MediaInfo, these are the only differences I could see. The original broken video had the following tag that was not present in the fixed video. Original frame rate: 23.976(24000/1001)FPS The broken video had the following tags related to HDR - Maximum Content Light Level: 602 MaxCLL_Original: 602 cd/m2 Maximum Frame-Average Light Level: 184 MaxFALL_Original: 184 cd/m2 The fixed video only had these tags but had the cd/m2 suffixes. Maximum Content Light Level 602 cd/m2 Maximum Frame-Average Light Level 184 cd/m2 All other tags were identical between the 2 files. You can remove the MaxCLL and MaxFALL tags with mkvtoolnix’s header editor. It didn’t solve the issue and I couldn’t find any way to remove or modify the other tags. I’m assuming LG doesn’t like “Maximum Content Light Level” and “Maximum Frame-Average Light Level” missing the cd/m2 suffix. At least that's the only reason I can come up with. Hope that helps someone. edit: 24000/1001 not 2400/1001

Hii In Plex we can now put multiple editions of movie and they are treated as separate movies, for that we need to put {edition-xxxxx} at the end of the video. When can we expect the same feature in the emby? A link to the Plex page regarding the same is given below https://support.plex.tv/articles/multiple-editions/

CONFIG UI How it works Click Add New Camera Button you set up an IP camera by giving it a friendly name, the URL to make it work (there is a link in the config UI that will take you to a website to help you) select the protocol and then decide if you want it to be saved to a m3u8 file. Click Save Repeat for number of cams you wish to add Run the Refresh Internet Channels Scheduled Task Advantages for saving to m3u8 file Now..... saving to m3u8 file has a massive advantage. you can now import this into the liveTV as a tuner and set up recording schedules for each of your cameras that are in the list.

I had about a hundred shows in a collection. When I viewed a series it showed the collection near the bottom of the page. On that collection was a menu item called delete. I clicked on that assuming it would delete the show from the collection. Instead the entire collection was deleted which was a disaster. Rebuilding that collection will be virtually impossible. In any case, a menu choice to remove a show from the collection would be nice. Or sorting the series in the collection page in alphabetical order would improve the situation. Right now I have to scan all the shows which is a pita. Please make removing a series from a collection easier.

This looks like a great project. I currently don't have a camera as I never replaced the last one that broke as I didn't have a convenient way of viewing it so gave up. This might even persuade me to buy a new one P.S. why have you got two threads regarding this?

HI, yes, being able to set server-side limits for this would make sense. Thanks.

User App Settings >Home Screen>Untick "Hide fully played content from latest media"

And when will the official version be released?

Completely default. You can't (Caddy runs as a single .exe). Just rebuild your usual version with the added plugin - that way you're also completely up to date. Paul

Yes it’s free of charge at the country level and the best is that I just noticed on Caddy plugin page that another plugin allows to automatically recover the file for you every week. It’s V2

Yes, do so please!

resolved, it was the internet router that treated the use of the internal network as an external upload. The router was changed and solved.

Updated to latest Beta and that solved the issue. Now everything is working as it should.

You should be able to do this with a MediaStream rule and the ChannelLayout property. If you need more help, please ask in the Iconic support thread.

Yes, so far no issues found with Kodi 20

Seems 7.13.6 has no issues. I'll push it to Emby's Kodi stable repository by tomorrow.

I made the same mistake. Wondering if in a future release there could be a warning message like "Caution -changing Lan Settings could prevent you from accessing your EMBY Server-Proceed with Caution". Even better would be some way to regain access to the EMBY Server without having to SSH into your machine to edit the system.xml if you change the lan settings in EMBY. I'm a causal user of EMBY and certainly do not have any coding or IT skills. As Vince44 mentioned you need to edit the system.xml. To do this you need to know how to access your device using SSH and how to edit out the problematic lan settings manually in system.xml. This requires knowledge of a few SSH linux command lines and how to use tools VI to edit and save the file. Wish there would have been an easy way to fix my mistake.

Pmac, the thanks go to you. You found important things that needed to be fixed. Thanks again, Vic

Hi @GrimReaper,, @PeterBoivin You can shuffle your favorite songs. Select your music library, Suggestions, scroll down and click on Favorite songs (header) and you will get a screen listing songs with the choices below. Hope this helps -vicpa

Please don't totally remove this feature. It's my family's version of Google Photos since Google capped the storage for it .

Experiencing the same issues on a pixel 7. I don't get any 1080p streams so I can't verify that. However I can verify that if I transcode the streams or choose an external player the issue does go away. It would be great if there was a fix. Thanks

As the first step, either update to latest AndroidTV beta app: Or sideload standard Android app and see how does that compare: https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html

Yeah, I hope LTT/Linus will try out Emby as well. When he, towards the end, said that he hadn't tried it out cause it costs money.. Duuude! You make millions of YT, you can afford a few bucks. You can even compare the free Emby to Premiere.

Click on header Movies or See All . Multi-select (select individual movies or select first movie>Shift-click last movie)>three-dot menu top-right>Add to Collection.

Yep I sure would approve....

Hi, I don't an update yet, but it's on the todo list.

I have Emby running in a container on Unraid. Out of the blue this afternoon Emby shut down and I havent' been able to get it back up. This is the log shown: [Log deleted] Any idea what happened and how I can get Emby back up and running? Thanks. UPDATE: Disregard. After a reboot of Unraid it turns out one of my cache drives wasn't being registered and that caused the problem.

Our very own @Spaceboy makes a short cameo too!

That guy ended up contributing to Jellyfin after that post and now has his own fork of the project: https://github.com/dannymichel/veso

Thanks for pointing this out. I know what the problem is and will fix it tomorrow. The problem is that I didn't put back in some code that I removed a few days ago when I was testing other features. I got busy with other things and just forgot. Vic

There's no "act as pre-encoded files". Either you have those pre-encoded already (that's the meaning of "PRE") or you transcode them when needed - which is "live transcoding". No. They offer all and their client chooses. It's so much more complicated than that. Frame drops are not an indication for low bandwidth.

The functional changes are made for general integration into Emby clients. It depends on whatever @Luke will decide to pick up. What remains will be specific to the theme.

I have it running side by side, but to me it feels like an old version of Emby when I switched over from PLEX in 2017. They added new features quicker than Emby like tonemapping and other things, but it seems to me the only do it to fill the checkbox. Everything feels slower. The clients aren't as polished or don't even exist. I wasn't happy when Emby decided to go close source but so far it wasn't negative for me. I'm a little worried that Jellyfin takes the spotlight now, even from the popular Plex. On the other hand I was surprised how many people mentioned Emby under LTT's latest video, where they barely mentioned it. What do you think?

...ooooppppsss...my bad...had mis-read the post...my apologies!!! Gerry

Ok I've worked it out. For anyone else with the same issue. If you go to the folder view and then change the tags there, then everything within that folder would have the tag on them too. So my audiobook files were all in one folder, I just edited the tags for that folder. And now that whole audiobook is restricted.

Create or acquire an appropriate certificate for the Emby server, install it in Emby and use https for the proxy backend. If your Emby is on a separate machine, you could install Caddy on that as well, with an http/1 link to localhost, and use this article to create an https link between the two Caddy servers - that would at least encrypt your data travelling in your local network. (j/k - I mean, you could...) But why do you want to? Http/1 probably gives you marginally better performance (I'd be surprised if you noticed, though), and if you want https because you consider your local network insecure you've other matters to worry about before your Emby setup. Paul

I changed filebot to S01E01 instead of 1x1. It is working now. Other problem is that the subtitle is faster than the video when I watch it remotely.

I've tried all of these suggestions and the layout and the issue remain.

By now I have almost all of the important building blocks covered - except one: The single-item view (and all its variations)...

I believe i have mentioned it before This software does a perfect job converting a m3u to strm folders and files. https://github.com/erdesigns-eu/M3U2STRM I have made a script that cleans up a m3u for various imperfections before parsing it. Write me a pm if you would like the code. Its written specifically to run in Termux on a android tv box, but could be quiclky be changed for any linux environments. It s jut a matter of chancing a few paths. Just saying Requa3r0

AV1 HW decoding is planned but not implemented yet. It's simply because at this time, just a very small percentage of Emby users would benefit from it, and when we would implement it in beta, there wouldn't be many who could test it and provide feedback. Then in turn, we would have something that is not sufficiently tested and decide what to do with it. But this will change within the next year as more and more devices with that capability will be sold (both Nvidia and Intel), so it's not that far away I think.

I suggested in a totally different thread a bit ago about possibly adding Discogs as a meta fetcher... https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/79280-duplicate-music-artists-entries-how-to-get-rid-of-them/ That thread has had a few +1 reply posts. As such i figured adding it to the feature requests was the proper way to gauge interest. If you have used MP3tag you should be familiar with Discogs. Its a GREAT alternative to Musicbrainz.

i was mistaken... this is in a format i have never seen if you can attach here (or email me afoglesonATgmail.com) some cleaned up example files (remove user and passowrd) I can have a look at generating a parser. this small example seems strange I think it wont be too hard... Ive been meaning to refactor the createstreams app to have a better parsing architecture. initially i did it just for me... but it has grown a little bit

Years. Actual years, that we've been waiting for this. I purchased the lifetime membership a couple years ago, give or take. I love Emby, generally, but this has been such a pain, for so long, that I ended up rage-installing Plex last week. I absolutely hate to say it, but they are crushing you guys on this issue. They're everywhere, including Samsung TV's. I greatly prefer Emby's UI and other features, but if I can't use it on my televisions, it's just-shy of pointless.

Emby Team, are you able to let us know why Emby app is not available in other regions, ie. Canada? Is this because of cost-saving or licensing limitation? To those who ask us to drop this request, here are the reasons behind the request: 1. VPN -- I don't want to get region locked out of my own region, not to mention paying extra for VPN or DNS service. 2. Buy a streaming box --- I would like to stop buying another streaming box that is compromised. For example, even the highest spec'ed Shield Pro (that I own) which supports bitstream of lossless audio, still does not support HDR10+ for my Samsung projector. Although the new ATV support HDR10+ it doesn't do bitstreaming of lossless audio, so as of now, the built-in Samsung on my projector is the best compromise I’m until the situation changes. 3. Year 2022 -- as I said before, it is odd today to have to manually download, unzip, copy the files to USB stick, uninstall existing version from my TV, reboot TV, wait for TV to scan and re-install app, just to launch Emby app on my Samsung TV.

You then lose access to region locked apps for your own region. Not a problem for some, but not a silver bullet.

Hi, why don't we just get resolved instead of finding a different tool altogether?
